Corrosion behavior of mild steel in acidic medium usingAdhatoda Vasica(AV) extract was investigated. The inhibitive effective ofAdhatoda Vasicaon the corrosion of mild steel in different acidic medium has been studied by weight loss and polarization methods. The Ecorrvalues are shifted slightly towards negative side in presence of inhibitors which indicate the inhibitors inhibit the corrosion of mild steel in acids solution by controlling both anodic and cathodic reactions due to the blocking of active sites on the metal surface. It is evident that inhibitors bring about considerable polarization of the cathode as well as anode. It was, therefore, inferred that the inhibitive action is of mixed type.

Efficiency of acid extract of dryNyctanthes arbortristis(Night Jasmine, Coral Jasmine) leaves as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1N H2SO4medium was investigated in the present study. Experimental methods include weight loss and polarization studies. The results indicateNyctanthes arbortristisleaves to be a good corrosion inhibitor of a mixed type and having efficiency as high as 90% at 1% inhibitor concentration.

A new ionic liquid, N-octyl-2-pyrrolidonium chloride (NOPC), were synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors for mild steel (Q235) corrosion in 1 mol/L HCl. The adsorption behavior and corrosion inhibition mechanism of NOPC for mild steel in HCl solution were investigated by using weight loss measurements, electrochemical techniques, and SEM. The inhibition efficiency increases with the increasing concentration of NOPC in 1 mol/L HCl and decreases as the temperature increases. The results indicate that NOPC is able to function as a mixed type inhibitor.

Corrosion control methods, especially the use of inhibitors, have gained monumental importance in the present scenario of expunging corrosion and the quest for eco-friendly reasons continues. To arrive at an inexpensive non-toxic, eco-friendly inhibitor formulations the present study on the use of Staminate Flower extract of Cocos Nucifera has been carried out by the classical weight loss measurements and electrochemical polarization measurements. The acid extract could bring out a maximum of 97.3% inhibition of mild steel corrosion in 1M HCl. Thermodynamic parameters of the corrosion process were calculated from temperature study. The adsorptive behaviour of Staminate Flower extract in acid solution may be approximated both by Langmuir and Temkin type isotherms. The results obtained by Tafel, Linear polarization resistance, and impedance spectroscopy have been correlated with the classical weight loss measurements. Values of Tafel constant ba and bc confirmed that the Staminate Flower extract acts like mixed type inhibitor. Examination of the surface of the metal in the presence of the inhibitor confirmed the deposition of inhibitor on the metal surface. The Staminate Flower extract in HCl medium efficiently inhibits the corrosion and proved to be zero cost inhibitor, eco-friendly, non-toxic, and highly economical.
